A man never gets so high that the breath of
scandal will not touch him. 1t is alleged that
ALFRED SULLY, the sensation OF the day in
stock and railway circles, wrote volume OF
poetry in his earlier days. 1t is probably
true. but Mr.. SULLY thought he had outllved
the disgrace.
SULLY is a native of Canada and is As years
old. His parents wanted to make a preacher
out of him, but he came out West, located in
Iowa and grew up to be lawyer. He
bought little property in Davenport out of
the stray fees that came into his office. Sold
it again at profit, bought other property and
continued on the upward tide of speculation
until he had accumulated $4,000. Then he
married daughter of Congressman PRICE
and dec ided to go to New York to live.
~
Having u natural taste for literary pursuits
SULLr went to New York for the purpose of
embarking in Journalism. But when he got
there all literary ambition disappeared in the
face of the opportunities for making money
III stock speculations. His business as a
stock speculator naturally brought him INTO
the circle of railway speculation, and now he
promises TO be VANDERBILT'S successor and
GOULD'S competitor as Il railway magnate.

Of this amount, S550,0O0 is included for
forty years salary as pastor and S3T0,000 re-
ceipts from lectures during last forty years.
He received $50, 600 for the novel Norwood

Those two distinguished knights of the
quill, Col. HENRY WATTERSON, of Kentucky,
and Muj. HENRY GRADY, of Georgia, have
been having Il newspaper tournament lately,
and are fitting at each other in the knightliest
style. GRADY can make the best after din
ner speech, but when it comes to quill driv-
ing WATT ERsON can fling ink in the eye of
the brightest man that Georgia can put up.
~
An impression has gone abroad that Mr.
GRADY's noted after dinner speech on Fore
fathers Day" was cut and dried affair, and
was pre-arranged by the New England protec
tioniSIs for political effect in the South. Mr.
GRADY's newspaper is about the only protec-
ton organ in the South. This fact may have
given rise to the suspicion that the New
England manufacturers schemed to utilize
the young Georgians oratOrical ability fol
selfish purposes. By giving GRADY a boom
they hoped to give protection Il boom in d
section where it is not specially popular. But
whatever may have been the object in view,
GRADY made good speech all the same.

Faith in mind reading was shaken when
BISHOP, the mind reader. failed to tell the
whereabouts of his runaway wife. Now an
other shock has been given to this peculiar
mental science by Boston man who per-
forms the identical tricks that BISHOP die
and calls it muscle reading

Mind reading and faith cure will have to
take a rest now. The maidstone has been
called back TO become the modern sensation
A Georgia woman is the possessor of stone
which an ancestor found in Bombay 200 years
ago, and which extracts all sorts of poisons
from the system. People who are bitten by
rattlesnakes go miles and miles to be cured
by the maidstone. There is current suspi
cion, however, that this maidstone story is g
trick of the Prohibitionists to reconcile the
Georgians to the loss of their whisky

and broke his neck. The latest bulletin frou
the hospital where he was carried announces

New York people is marvellous. GROVER
CLEVELAND is an illustrious example.

Jealousy among the female stars is an cpl
demic in opera companies this year and seems
to be raging with great virulence. The DUFF
Opera company now threatens to go TO pieces
on the same rock which the Boston Ideals
struck. HARRY billiard, the tenor, was
discharged peremptorily at Louisville last
Monday and Miss JARBEAU sent in her resig
nation, to take effect the Goth of this month
~
The cause Of the ruction was fairy LILLIAN
RUssELL's jealousy of JARBEAU, who always
drew more applause than Miss RUSSELL
When interviewed Miss JARBEAU declined tc
say anything further than that since LILLIAN
RUSSELL Joined the company there had been
an undercurrept of dissatisfaction. HILLIARI
speaks out more plainly and says that Miss
RUSSELL has DUFF on the string and wher
she wanted to get rid of JARBEAU that settled
it. Miss PARKER takes JARBEAUs place ant
billiard was fired to make room for hel
